| Do you have a LAMB alum now at DCI? How are they doing? Is there a discernible (good or bad) difference in their social and academic readiness for middle school coming from a Montessori environment? |

My 2 LAMB alums didn't go to DCI but to another charter.
Very well prepared on all fronts -- and ready for new stuff that came with middle school (different teachers for different subjects, changing classes, keeping up with assignments and trying new extra curriculars). |

Not OP, but I'm curious about this two. I have to at LAMB in the younger grades. By middle we'll be out of the city and probably in a traditional class setting. Was the transition trying for your LAMB alum? I'm worried mine will be bored in any sort of traditional setting. They've sored with the Montessori format. |

If you go to a regular middle school they will have 6-8 different teachers and classes. And each is different -- for mine math is pretty rigid and traditional but science, social studies and english can vary a lot and have room for creativity. But yeah the unit is the unit whether they want to do that topic or not. Probably the biggest change is adjusting to quizzes/tests and just grades in general. |
